Its an Escort 'bonus' which I think has a longer wheel base.
There's no division between van and front seats, which may have been removed as part of the (extensive) conversion for w'chairs.
If it will go in I'll change the seats to narrower ones to accommodate the rear end of the bike.
The front of the bike with fairing isn't going to fit under the stepped roof so it will have to go in backwards.
When I get the bike back I'll send some pics.

Hi JJ
The bike is to long to go into the back of the escort van and to close both doors safely. It helps with having the extra height because of the wheel chair. The problem is coming half way up behind the seats is a metal guard it stops the front wheel from passing through between the two seats, If you have a MK1 Escort van this guard is not there.you probably have a Mk 5 or 6. I think if you remove the front wheel and mudguard it will go in then you have the aggro of chocking the front end.
I would not risk damaging this lovely bike for the sake of a few quid it would be safer a easier to hire a van tie it down and get in done properly.
I have a proper bike trailer that you can use if its any use phone me 01502 476581 but I might be to far away
Ride safe
